Considered Both Products
AB Tasty
Chose AB Tasty
AB Tasty is the king when it comes to cost/benefit. It is not the cheapest but not the most expensive. It is a very advanced tool and we like the fact of not having to pay extra fees for more advanced features that we may only use for one test. Also, the chat support …
Chose AB Tasty
We selected AB Tasty as the support is way better than the WYSIWYG editor. We will still work with AB Tasty as in the addition to the solution because a lot of support is provided (roadmap, workshops, evangelization, etc).
Chose AB Tasty
AB Tasty is more of a marketer's tool. It's much better when it comes to QA, handly and reliable. There is a great customer support chat available in 5 minutes.
Chose AB Tasty
We decided on AB Tasty as there were numerous features at this time that other providers did not offer and we felt like being on the right track for the upcoming years and challenges. Also, the price was for sure one of the criteria. AB Tasty offered an attractive package …
Chose AB Tasty
Privy showed our websites down and was very limited. It's great to be able to use ab tests and have more options without loss of speed
Chose AB Tasty
The product roadmap is interesting. Support is quite professional. Features are very useful.
Chose AB Tasty
AB Tasty is great, probably the best optimizing tool you can use. Easy, loads of features, great support from CSM. Great variation editor whereas Monetate and VWO don't have a lot of features/widgets. Optimizely is good but again not a lot of capability without a dev. Whereas …
Chose AB Tasty
We did test couple of platforms before decision, but A/B Tasty support alreasy on Proof of Concept phase was exceptional and price was reasonable, so the decision was fairly easy.
Chose AB Tasty
AB Tasty is much more affordable and provides very similar results. We are happy we made the switch and have seen the same success we had with other platforms on AB Tasty.
Chose AB Tasty
VWO & Optimizely, in my opinion, are for large corporations. They're expensive and very limiting.
Chose AB Tasty
We have not used the AB Tasty heat maps or user recording feature so I'm not too sure how they stack up. As for SiteSpect it is a more intricate testing platform that uses the cloud to run tests, however, it's much more expensive and I think AB Tasty gives more bang for your …
Chose AB Tasty
AB Tasty has very aggressive pricing and a simple-to-use toolset. We feel that AB Tasty gives us what we need and the other vendors don't provide additional value to justify the cost.
Chose AB Tasty
We selected AB Tasty mostly because we got a sense that their dev and customer service teams were going to go above and beyond to help us out. We were right! The cost was also a factor as they came in a small bit lower, but cost wasn't the only factor.
Chose AB Tasty
AB Tasty is far more affordable than most of them, but with the same functionality and better reporting (reporting looks similar to Optimizely). Monetate requires an agency or a dedicated CRO team to manage and run tests, and is best for large companies with a lot of traffic …
Chose AB Tasty
Optimize does not support SPAs, it was a deal breaker for us. AB Tasty supports it very well.
Chose AB Tasty
AB Tasty isn't as sophisticated or advanced as Monetate. The analytics section in Monetate is fabulous. But AB Tasty is great for smaller companies with a smaller budget. And the AB Tasty support has been better.
Chose AB Tasty
We selected AB Tasty over other leading A/B Testing platforms due to its huge list of features, dedicated account support and competitive licensing model.
Chose AB Tasty
AB Tasty has a good price/quality ratio. They are the European leader and have a good reputation. We were satisfied with them so we kept them.
Chose AB Tasty
AB Tasty shares data with many analytics solutions as Google Analytics or At Internet solutions
Chose AB Tasty
Crazy Egg was mainly only used for heat mapping, which it does really well. I haven't used Google Optimize too much yet but it has most of the same functionality as A/B Tasty. Google Analytics is more used for reporting and a deeper look into data. AB Tasty by far has the best …
Chose AB Tasty
It's a different tool - and could probably borrow some of the UI and ease of use from the other tools, but excels in providing prebuilt functionality and more detailed targeting. It also needs a lot more learning - when the other tools are pretty much pick up and go.
Chose AB Tasty
It's just the perfect mix between all tools I have used in the past.
Instapage
Chose Instapage
Instapage is a more complete package with an editor function, a large selection of multi-component templates, a reporting dashboard, basic SEO tools, customization functionality and excellent site speed and site performance standards. We choose Instapage because it had all …
Chose Instapage
I prefer Unbounce to Instapage even though the end result may be a nicer-looking page, the pages are not the desired outcome. Lead generation and engagement trump design, for all intents and purposes. So don't focus on the best-looking page as long as the pages are good clean …
Chose Instapage
The Instapage editor is super flexible and easy to use. You can move any element to any spot on the canvas. Instapage and Unbounce have better editors when it comes to flexibility and control. Leadpages and HubSpot offer visual drag-and-drop design but both of them are more …
Chose Instapage
We also use MailChimp's new functionality to build landing pages. It has some advantages since we use MailChimp as our email marketing system. However it is not as user-friendly as Instapage - and we only use it for certain simple campaigns that don't need us to be creative …
Chose Instapage
Reviews were good and functionality was decent for the price.
Chose Instapage
I know there are a lot of options for building quick landing pages out there, but Instapage makes it so easy to use. Think of them like Apple, the clean, friendly, easy to use option. Everyone else seems to make this a little more complex than I think it needs to be.
Chose Instapage
Instapage is easier to build pages, but does not have all the integrated functionality that SharpSpring has.
Chose Instapage
Instapage is much more user-friendly than landingi, and is much less glitchy than Wix. As such, Instapage is likely the strongest and most productive for ROI of all of the landing page software solutions. Would strongly recommend this, despite the higher price tag, it is well …
Chose Instapage
Prior to using Instapage, I had only ever used Unbounce. I wanted to see what other tools brought to the table and Instapage was the one we went with at first. I prefer Instapage's interface to Unbounce, but the underlying functionality turned out to not be the best fit for our …
Chose Instapage
Optimizely - More expensive and responsive functionality is less reliable. The WYSIWYG editor is also a little more difficult to use and many times requires custom coding for desired experience. The A/B testing tools are a little more sophisticated, but Instapage is sufficient …
Chose Instapage
I found Instapage and Leadpages similar in a lot of ways. Both are good solutions. Instapage has a little better of a drag n drop builder. A little more flexible. Leadpages actively restricted form embed code to upsell their integration packages. Not cool IMO.
Chose Instapage
Clickfunnels for more complex funnels and sales pages, Insatpage for simple opt ins, and I use dont use leadpages at all in anymore. It just didn't have the quality and I customization I was looking for.
Chose Instapage
When we first realized we needed a way to build landing pages for our ad campaigns, Instapage was one of the first products we came across. With the CMS we use, we have outside developers who help manage the back end of the site. It was not in our budget to have them create our …
Chose Instapage
Instapage is the easiest to use. It is also the cheapest. Instapage is the most flexible for customizing the mobile versions of your page (you can make changes on the mobile version without ever having it change the desktop version without you knowing). It also seems to be the …
Chose Instapage
Because of its ease of use, Instapage remains a staple in our marketing stack. While we are using native landing pages in Wordpress more and more (because we have more skill and resources) and implementing the landing page page builder in Sharpspring, if we got into a pinch …
Chose Instapage
HubSpot was terrible because it required a lot of coding experience if you wanted to work outside the given 4-5 templates. If you wanted a new template built, or to rebrand existing templates, they charged you. Very inflexible program and was very challenged by it. Our main …
Chose Instapage
I can't remember all the alternatives we looked at. It was a long time ago, and there were a lot. The number one competitor was LeadPages... and then there were a few that were WordPress plugins that we seriously looked at. We passed all of them up in favour of Instapages …
Chose Instapage
GetResponse is a little easier to use and see how pages work out across the different devices, and it is significantly more expensive than GetResponse. However, it is much more affordable than Sales Engine and Callidus Cloud Marketing Automation - which are full marketing …
Chose Instapage
We are SharpSpring clients and love many aspects of their marketing automation platform. Because their landing page features and functionality need some refining, we still use Instapage frequently to service our clients' needs. We plan to use Instapage for as long as we need to …
Chose Instapage
Used ION Interactive. Instapage is much easier to use than ION, but doesn't feel as powerful, which is great for nimble campaigns.
Chose Instapage
I've used OptimizePress as well, but I like the ease of editing even more with Instapage, and there are a lot of great templates and preloaded dummy content.
Chose Instapage
Use Optimizely - similar product, better company.
Chose Instapage
Before finding Instapage, we used literally every landing page builder out there. NONE of them offered a free getting started plan. They all want to take your credit card and hold a deposit hostage in case you don't like their system. Well I NEVER try anything without a free …

A/B Tasty tool allows us do easy testing without burdening our limited developer resources all the time. Reports are simple enough to interpret. Support has been excellent and proactive, also the onboarding was successful. It is also an advantage that we have the possibility to drive all our traffic to the test versions rather than being limited to specific user amount per month. We can recommend A/B Tasty for testing purposes, as the platform keeps it’s promises, doesn’t require too much technical knowledge and the support is excellent.

If you aren't too picky about having precise control over your page designs, Instapage is a great tool that will make it easy to build and publish pages quickly. It's easy to set up and intuitive to use. It seems like that audience (prioritizes speed over precision) is their target -- for control freaks like me, it comes up a little short. The pricing is pretty good for what you get -- a super-fast path to getting campaigns out quickly so that you can test and iterate your way to profitability. It plays really well with most other tools designed for the small, scrappy startup marketing team, too.

Pros
  • Easy setup - Simple script insertion into site header.
  • Intuitive interface - It took very little training for our team to understand how to start running A/B tests. The reporting is much more comprehensive, yet easily digestible than other platforms we have used or considered. Confidence scores, flexible KPI inclusions/tracking allow us to understand the results or non-result quickly and with clarity to make decisions on next steps.
  • Customer support - Our CSM and tech support are always helpful and proactive when a question or issue arise. Our CSM keeps us on track when an idea might have dropped off the map due to other priorities, and brings great ideas to the table. We enjoy our monthly touchbases with her when we get to see new functionalities, how other clients successfully used them, and brainstorm ways we can use them for our experience.

  • I love how easy the setup was. The drag and drop design is easy for people who don't know code but it also allows coding options for those who do.
  • Customer service has been easy to contact. They are quick with their response times and have suggested workarounds or provided videos to help fix any issues.
  • They are constantly working on improvements to the interface and additional features.

Cons
  • Sometimes when you're preparing a test the editor "crashes" and you need to re open it. It's just a matter of having to go back to the main dashboard a few times during your preparation.
  • Maybe to have the option to have pre-build templates of pages, buttons and assets that we can use to test experiments.

  • Originally, we used Pardot and Instapage and I had to pull the coding from our Instapage landing pages and throw that into Pardot to get nice looking landing pages. When we transitioned to HubSpot, they took our existing pages and did this for us. But now they added an integration with Instapage and I am guessing this will solve any issues with using Instapage going forward for our website's landing pages.

AB Tasty's tool as well as the support team completely met my goals on A/B Testing. Editing a test is really easy and AB Tasty made the marketing team free to launch nearly any test. Reporting is also easy to set up and give us the information needed to keep improving transformation on landing pages and forms

Usability
The tool’s usability is excellent, with a smooth and intuitive interface. It is continuously updated with new features and improvements aimed at enhancing the user experience. Setting up experiments and personalizations is straightforward, thanks to a well-structured process that even less experienced users can easily follow. There are sometimes small issues with the QA section which slows the QA process but it is so much better now compared to 2024.

I've tried all of the other landing page services on the market, and this is literally the easiest to use. I am not a designer or software developer, just a simple guy and if I can learn how to use it, anyone can. That's what won me over. Their support and pre-made templates are awesome, but the usability is what I love!

Support Rating
Support is good, but it would be better if it was quicker or if AB Tasty provided a quicker SLA. At times, you require stuff urgently but AB Tasty support isn't as quick as I personally like it to be.

Again, support is just awesome. I've never had any issues go over 24 hours and the people are friendly and speak English really well.

Online Training
There is a vast amount of training available on their online platform, including their university area of which you can get certified for (and then share this with your connections on platforms such as Linkedin). There is also specific hand created training which can be provided by your customer success manager if that is requested by yourself.

We also use Mailchimp's new functionality to build landing pages. It has some advantages since we use Mailchimp as our email marketing system. However it is not as user-friendly as Instapage - and we only use it for certain simple campaigns that don't need us to be creative with the landing pages. I wouldn't recommend Mailchimp as an alternative to what Instapage brings to the table!

Return on Investment
  • This past year we improved our new visitor conversion rates by 73% with very little increases in our ad spend. We've been able to test quickly and infer how those experiments impacted lead generation. Experimentation is all about continually learning and testing.

  • My company was so disorganized, calculating ROI was never going to happen. However, Instapage did allow us to meet our goal, which was to acquire a specific number of leads within a month.
  • Instapage allowed me to make quick changes based on lead collection progress. When we were behind on our numbers, I could quickly make changes and A/B test different page layouts.
  • I'm not sure if they continued to use Instapage after I left the company, but it was a very helpful lead collection tool and allowed us to meet our goals.
